Delicious, needed an extra 15 minutes in my oven but then it was perfect.

Have made this a few times now and always turns out great. Follow the recipe but a couple of times I didn’t have lemon but it was still great without. Making one now for friends next door. They love it!

Hi Lyn, the recipe is correct. The DH Team.

Hi is there an error in the rice qty? It says half a cup. Should that be one and a half to go with one litre of milk?

Hi Josy, yes you can use 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract as a substitute. Enjoy! The DH Team.

Is it possible to replace the vanilla bean with vanilla extract/essence? If so, how much should I use?

This is simply the best recipe, I have made it over and over for years, also when my parents come over from the UK, as they are both diabetics, I substitute the sugar for either native or Splenda, and they love it, it is their favourite, and it is the first thing they ask me to make them…I highly recommend this recipe

Hi BN, we use a fan forced oven setting when baking to allow an even cooking temperature. Also, the dish we cook the rice pudding in isn’t very deep to allow an even cooking time (4cm deep). Hope that helps! The DH team

This recipe does not work. Outcome is sloppy mushy rice in hot milk. Very disappointing after 2 hours in the oven

I haven’t made this recipe yet but I noticed the amount of sugar used , 2 tablespoons, is very small. Most recipes I’ve made ask for 1/2 cup. The flavor of baked rice pudding is very different than stove top prepared, a flavor that I find is richer and more aromatic. Rice pudding is the epitome of comfort food. I look forward to making this recipe.
